Clint Eastwood has fathered seven children with five different women. His youngest - Morgan Eastwood - was born in 1996 when Clint was 66
• A study which was published in the March 2005 issue of Epidemiology, revealed that the risk of premature birth increases with paternal age
• There may be an increased risk of genetic abnormalities. In fact, following research into this area, organisations such as The American Society for Reproductive Medicine have actually set an upper age limit of 40 years for semen donors, while UK fertility clinics only accept sperm donations from men aged 39 and under
• An Icelandic company found that the number of genetic mutations in children was directly related to the age of their father when they were conceived Again, as with older mums, late fatherhood
also has its advantages though! For a start, older men are probably either retired or have the benefit of being able to spend more time at home than their younger counterparts. They’re also likely to be more patient – particularly if this is their ‘second time around’.
Just take a look at some of these not-so-modern dads! Charlie Chaplin had twelve kids, with the youngest - Christopher James - born
back in 1962 when Chaplin was 73 years old. US President, Donald Trump, was 62 when his son Barron William – his fifth child
- was born to Trump’s third wife, Melania. Trump also has five grandchildren. Rod Stewart has had eight children, with the youngest - son Aiden - born in 2011
when Rod was 66. To add to the excitement, Rod's daughter Kimberly had a baby in August of the same year, just six months after Aiden was born. So Rod has a child and a grandchild who are the same age! Rolling Stone Ronnie Wood’s twin girls were actually his fifth and sixth children.
Wood already had four children from his previous two marriages before becoming a father again at the age of 68. Beatle Paul McCartney was 61 and already had four grown-up kids when then
wife, Heather Mills, gave birth to daughter Beatrice! Bruce Willis already had three grown-up daughters with ex-wife Demi Moore,
when he welcomed his daughter Mabel Ray Willis in 2012. Clint Eastwood has fathered seven children with five different women. His
youngest - Morgan Eastwood - was born in 1996 when Clint was 66. Whatever the pros and cons of older fatherhood, there’s no doubt that it has
never seemed so popular! And, when you take into consideration the fact that we’re all living longer and staying healthier, it looks as if this is one trend that’s going to be around for a long time!
